Medium Rare Tests, The Beacon, The Stalkee, and Black Light Pitter Patter




What a swirly day:

From taking my first test in Spanish, not my shining moment, but I took it and, well, it took me. No where to go but UP in that class,

To attending Theatre and working on a scene due Friday, nothing difficult, but unexpected,

To having the weekly lunchy lunch chow chow time with mi madre. So fun, just love how she is searching and creating and growing. Such a beacon to me she is,

To living my first Music History test, oh my when you know it you do and when you do not, there is no faking it in that class, BUT there are notes and doodles that can be made on the test... Can I get a creative Amen?

(Pausing for you to say/dance/act/be it...)

(Still pausing for the reticents. That is not a typo, I mean the ones who possess reticence...)

Ahh, much better.

I doodled happy and sad faces (my creations eager ernie smiley and LETHARGIC LENNY BLAH - more on those characters at some point), the Heroes symbol (which had a good season opener akin to the first season, we shall see if it finds its direction once more) and wrote some notes to the teacher. I took that test the DUSTIN way. Oh my. And test scene.

Then Stephanie and I had a little reunion and walked into

Pete Za's Playtime Pizza...

Holy Mother of Weasley, Potter, Patty, Beam, and Buffay!

I had a WOWYAYTASTICEXPIALUPER time.

Black light golf (black light pirates make my heart go pitter patter), go carts, all you can eat buffet, games, games, games, and I selected two rings and happy face stickers with my winning tickets. (Willy Wonka cue)

I felt like Andy going to Pizza Planet. Maybe pizza has to be around places where there is just fun abounding. It was a kid night and one I needed.

So, a day well lived, tests taken, but not well, medium rare tests if you will, my beacon of be yourself DNA leader, reunion with my stalkee, and just living it like there is no other way than to be present....

Winks and a grin of the cat that is Cheshire,

Pic 2: This is one of the characters in the black light world of the golf that is too fun to understand.

I Love the Clarks

I LOVE THE CLARKS!!!!!!!!!!!! (I used twelve exclamation marks/points to show the significance of the love and because twelve is my cosmic number.) It is that simple. Jay and Karen (and the illustrious Quin) allowed me to move into their lovely home under the proviso I would be out in a few days. Well that was October 18th and, look at your calendar folks, I am still here. I think that finally the light has bounced off of a nimbus cloud that I have not seen before and I might have a dwelling. But... I LOVE these two people. They just get me and leave me to my own devices. In this time where I have sequestered myself off into my own little respite lair, they have let me "do my own thing". And they are such lovely, talented, decent people. It has been my honour to get to know them more and their ultimate collaboration, THE Quin. He is the COOLEST child ever. I adore the boy. Tonight Jay, Karen, and I played a card game called Nerts. I am addicted and I saw new shades ...

Holiday Homage Part Six: THE Sam

This summer whilst doing "Sweeney", I met Sam Pettit. I was focused on bringing Anthony to life, so throughout the show and backstage I was serious, quiet, reflective.  This guy brought life to the backstage.  He is JOY.  There was a performance in which he could not "attend the tale" and the show was different, lacking somehow. He is a high school senior and has the lovable qualities of youth: exuberance, unparalleled energy, a need to learn, and... He is pleasantly himself. He has a real sense of who he is and that is a rarity in someone so young. He dares to be different, but in an organic way, not to rebel and for that I respect him.  He is more aware than some I know twice his age.   We have kept in touch throughout the months.  When I am pensive or dwelling in the darkness, he is a light of hilarity.   I do not know where Sam's course will lead him, but I am profoundly grateful that it lead him to me this summer. He is such a raw talent with the ability to...

The Kick Ass Brothers (And the Theatre Room I Am Going to Steal)

I just spent the day with my brothers, Bran Flakes and Patricio watching "Friday the 13th Part VII: The New Blood", "Sin City", and "Live Free or Die Hard" in Bran Flake's KICK ASS KICK ASS KICK ASS Theatre Room. (It deserves all three kick asses and then some actually.) It was a Testosterone Day and I made it all the way through. Can we say the same for Patricio? (Titty baby. Ha.) I think that was the first blog smack talk I have "thrown down". I had never seen "Sin City" or "Live Free or Die Hard". Both were excellent. I did not want to leave the nirvana that is the magic room of cinema wonder. So, thanks to Bran Flakes for hosting and for having the idea. And Patrick, let me know how that nipple is treating you. Here's to smack talk... How liberating! (Especially when I am in control of the forum!) Here's to a kick ass theatre room. And to even more kick ass brothers, Dustin
